The JGI UK Board has sent £5,000 to help the team at the Tacugama Sanctuary in Sierra Leone manage the severe impact of Ebola on their operations. Do please spread the word and support this appeal. Primates are impacted by Ebola both directly and through the social impact on those managing sanctuaries/reserves. Saving human lives in this medical and societal disaster is critically important; helping maintain healthy and viable chimpanzee populations is also so. www.tacugama.com
